Take another look at the origins of 'Jane Foster', played by Oscar winner Natalie Portman ("Black Swan") in the Marvel Studios' sequel, "Thor: The Dark World".
The romantic relationship between 'commoner' Jane and thunder god Thor will intensify , "...but it's not all polished and golden in this film," said Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige.
"The events of the 'Avengers' will have affected 'Thor' for sure".
Debuting in Marvel Comics' "Journey into Mystery' #84 (1962), 'Jane Foster' was originally a nurse for 'Dr. Don Blake' and over time developed romantic feelings for him, torn between 'the lame Doctor' and the heroic Thor.
Unknown to her at the time, Blake and Thor were the same person. This situation continued until Thor, defying the orders of his father 'Odin', revealed the truth to Jane.
Jane was immediately transported to 'Asgard' and given the powers of 'immortality'.
But unable to cope with her new powers, she began to lose her mind, on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Fearing for her sanity, she begged to be put back on Earth as she once was. Odin, upset at her 'unworthiness' to be a goddess, granted her request, removed her immortality, gave her amnesia and whisked her back to her 'mundane', earthly human existence.
Back on Earth, Jane met 'Dr. Keith Kincaid' and had a son with him. As the years passed, Jane grew old and became ill, on the verge of death.
But Norse warrior goddess 'Sif', a former teenage lover of Thor, sad to see the thunder god heart-broken, infused her own life force with Jane, who miraculously recovered her health and lost memories, rekindling her love for Thor.
